Just one thing I’d like to add and that is that there is a tuning option to optimize the Play 5 to a particular room. Sonos calls this “TruePlay” but if you want to do this you will need sighted help, it is not accessible if Voiceover is running.
Also, FYI, while the new Play 5 has no longer a headphone jack, it is supposed to sound much better than the older ones.

Set up is a breeze and poses no problems for blind or visually impaired users no matter which model you get in my experience. Once your library is indexed by the sonos system then you could play anything you might have in terms of sound files from your computer. the only difference between first and 2nd generation play:5 for instance is the location of the button you press to initiate its detection by the system. In first gen it’s on top of the unit whereas in the newer 2nd generation it’s on the back of the unit. It’s nearly flush with the back of the unit but still detectable by touch once you know to look for it. I don’t think you’d have any trouble should you choose to try one; and the Play:5 still has the auxiliary input jack as well. I just thought I’d mention that. I hope that helps.

Also is it easy to stream from your computer over wifi?

I hope that helps.

I was under the impressions that it did have a headphone jack but wonder if it was removed in the newer model. This is a real turn off for me. I guess I should have bought one earlier.
